Client satisfaction is an imp ortant indicator for the quality of health care and understanding women’s view of the care provided is very crucial. Material and Methods: A descriptive study using cross-sectional design was conducted among postpartum women on day 1-3 day after normal delivery, which aimed to assess the perceived quality and satisfaction of postnatal care provided in the maternity wards of a tertiary care hospital of Western Maharashtra. Convenience sampling was used to assess the perceived quality and satisfaction of postnatal care. A self-structured questionnaire using Likert scale which comprised of three sections was used and a semi structured interview was conducted. The validity and reliability of the tool was tested. A total of 150 subjects were recruited in the study. Results: Among the 150 participants, majority of the study participants 36.7% were of age 18-22 years and 46.7% were educated till high school participants 102 (68%) were homemaker while 68% were homemaker. Among all 51.3% were prim parous women 56% participants delivered male baby and most (91.3%) of the babies were of normal birth weight. The study revealed that 54% had high perceived quality of care and 21.3% were not satisfied with the postnatal care provided. There was a moderately positive correlation (r=+0.48, n=150; p <0.0001) between perceived quality and satisfaction of postnatal care scores. There was no significant association between perceived quality of postnatal care and sociodemographic variables except occupation (F(2,147); p=0.013); between satisfaction and sociodemographic variables except family income (F(3,146); p=0.041). Conclusion: The findings concluded that care provider-related factors played a significant role towards maternal satisfaction levels. Individualised postnatal care must be provided. The study recommended the need for special training of nursing personnel to give importance to these identified salient areas and participation of nurses in policy making decisions and hospital designing.","PeriodicalId":111627,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Midwifery and Nursing Practice","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127115057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to assess the level of coping among the women with infertility.

The self-developed Likert coping scale was administered to all the participants. Result: The descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. In terms of levels of coping, majority of women (66.5%) were having inadequate coping followed by 33.5% were having moderate coping. Moreover, none of woman had good coping towards infertility. The findings showed that level of coping strategies was not significant with the selected of demographic variables as (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study revealed that approximately two third of the women had inadequate coping strategies which may leads to severe psychological condition. So there is a need of psychological counseling for all women with infertility along with all household work and hobbies.","PeriodicalId":111627,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Midwifery and Nursing Practice","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128123944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reducing anxiety and gaining confidence by enhancing knowledge about childbirth can be considered an important factor in influencing a primi parturient’s intrapartum behaviour and birthing experience. Educating the women regarding labour events, roles to be performed during labour process facilitates effective intrapartum coping behaviour. Methodology: An experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a video assisted labour process teaching on intrapartum behavior among primiparturients during active labour in selected maternity units of tertiary care hospitals of Western Maharashtra. Total 88 primiparturients having singleton pregnancy at and above 37weeks of gestation were selected through purposive sampling technique followed by random allocation into experimental (n=44) and control group (n=44) by chit method. Tool used was Intrapartum Behavioural Observation Rating Scale for assessing intrapartum behaviour. Video was administered during latent labour to the primiparturients in experimental group. Intrapartum behavior among primiparturients was assessed during active labour. Results: The mean intra-partum behavior score increased from 28.45+19.756 in control group to 68.55+21.521in experimental group ( p <0.0001). Conclusion: Study revealed that video assisted labour process teaching as an effective method of promoting effective intrapartum behavior among primiparturients during active labour. Also, it is a cost effective method and can be used by midwives independently to develop maternal confidence and effective intrapartum coping strategies during labour.","PeriodicalId":111627,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Midwifery and Nursing Practice","volume":"55 51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132731918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
